Tradition has 18 weapons in the Chinese martial arts and these weapons are revealed in a series of duels between key characters in Legendary Weapons of China (1982). When the weapon is used first the name of the weapon appears on the screen. Weapons 1 – 5 are used by Ti Hau’s clan master, Ti Hau himself, and Lei Kung during a failed assassination attempt on Lei Kung. Weapons 6 – 18 are used by Lei Kung and Lei Ying during their final battle. As their fighting continues, the brothers change weapons as each new weapon seems to defeat the techniques of the previously used weapon. For example, 7 defeats 6, but 8 defeats 7.

In Legendary Weapons of China (1982) a nationalistic clan tries to use their kung fu to block bullets, but it has proven to fail. An expert in the clan disbands the part of the clan which is under his control so the rest of the clan goes after him. This expert is skilled in all 18 legendary weapons of China, so the order is to kill anyone who is associated with the 18 weapons. But how can they find the real expert, who has now escaped to Canton, when there are millions there?
